The number Of reported murders in the
United States in 1882 was ,206. There
were only SO persons executed and lis
lynched--in ALL 2ll. Consequently very
nearly ,0jj criminals escaped. We say
very nearly because some criminals may
have had more than one victim each II
any of those who were executed and
lynched were innocent, then perhaps more
than /, 0J5 criminals escaped. Under any
government where l,173 murderers out Of
every 1886 escape legal execution. it is a
wonder that there are not 1000 lynched,
instead Of lis. A man planning a cold
blooded murder may safely calculate upon
more than eleven chances TO escape tC
less than one for his detection, conviction
and execution; and taking in the cOnjoini
probabilities Of legal and extra legal capt
tai punishment, he may safely calculate
on five chances 10 one 70 escape. -Charles

The many strange phenomena OF auncsia

Of the eblest living Psychologists, Professor

about three hours afterwards During this

by the accident, vas set without his knowl

The. editor II Mind, who tells the story,
adds another case IN which a gentleman af-
ter falling from "a carriage, remained I'M
conscious for nearly four months. Upon To-
awakening, not only was this interval II total
blank to him, but the events VI the week pre-
ceding the accident We're equally lost. I'm
pOrtant transactions which hc had made
during that week were forgotten. This sug-
gests that there may be some relation be-

the accident and the memory blank before.

how General Lee had G0,000 men at the

TUESDAY,
THE ISSUE

Mr.. J. s. Moore Is a clever man. lie
has written a letter explaining hos Mr.
Cleveland has pat the Republican party
on the defensive But the fact Is that
Mr.. Cleveland has forced bis own party
to the alternative of taking an aggressive
stand or breaking up the party.
The time had come when trucking
10 protection and free trade both would
no, work, aud the message SETS the hag
of the Democratic party far ont in the
front where the Democrats must form the
line or be lost The question Il, shall we
any longer sell the people ont TO monop-
DIV or set them free with jnat system Of
taxation on imports for revenue only ?
The Republicans may howl as much 49,
they can, but they are confronted with
an issue that forces them 10 defend the
infamous system Of taxing the millions
to protect the few monopolisis. We
want no better issue than that on which
to fight the great battle Of ISIS.
Here is what one Of The greatest Repub-
lican papers in the country says
president Cleveland has served upon
the party An order to show cause why The
war tariff taxes should not be reduced
or, as Mr.. Moore puts il, he has called
upon them to defend if they can, 'tbe
monsirous monopolies and exaciioDs
that the tariff system imposes. The
President has made the aiiack-ihefe Is
no question whatever about that

The late archbishop of Canterbury,

notes Of his sermon containing some in

paper before him on the pulpit cushion.
During the hymn a sudden gust of wind

back The man looked over the scrubbed
paper and a sudden look Of bright intelli-

IT Is said that the existing strike iu New York hes made 5000 men idle. Al sa averge rate oI wages oi Sl.75 for each of these men per day. the s.

The loss Is still greater on the employers. or else they couli not ffIrd to pay these wages. If it amounts to g. a day for each striker, then the employers lose Sl0O.000 a day, which w"uld bring the aggregate daily loss of these two clasees up to SIS7, 7,500. The employers, how ever, can besr the loss much better than the strikers can. This IS a high price to pay for contest which, if a moderate, share ct patience and sense hsd been used on both sides, might have been settled by arbitration without any loss At all The loss here. it must be rememb red, is that suffered by the strikers and the bosses alone.
